13/8(+41%)
(3) Dain Ma Nut In 13/8, Fair maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Won't be far away if back to anywhere near his best.
Below par on handicap debut but needs respecting in this modest a maiden.

(2) Bletchley Pride 4/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Third of 5 in maiden (12/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Remains capable of better back at 1m.
Has finished closer in each of his runs and chased home the market leaders at Redcar.

(6) Rogue State 6/5, Lightly-raced filly. 5/2 and hooded first time, first run since leaving Bryan Smart when improved third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely she has more to give for this stable.
Has to settle if she's to fulfil what potential she has but this is a modest race.

Easily his best run was second time out at Ayr (1m, good) and well held since then.

13:40 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Placed at Ripon on her handicap debut and first outing for David O'Meara, ROGUE STATE returns to maiden company with strong claims and can open her account. Bletchley Pride finished third at Redcar last time and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form, while Dain Ma Nut In is not out of this if reproducing his placed effort over course and distance in June and is preferred to stablemate Racing Vicar.

ROGUE STATE made quite a promising start for new trainer David O'Meara at Ripon 3 weeks ago and is preferred to Bletchley Pride and Dain Ma Nut In. Slaney Swagger would also be likely to have a big say if turning out but he is due to run at Ripon on Monday.

Most of these have had a good few chances. ROGUE STATE doesn't make life easy for herself but the ability is there to win.

14:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

This can go the way of MAYOR OF MAGHERA, who has finished strongly over 7f on the last two occasions and stepping up to 1m could be the making of him as he aims to get off the mark on handicap debut. Another to consider is Leicester third Law Degree, who is still 6lb above his last winning mark, while Caledonian Dream looks to build upon a creditable effort over slightly shorter at Beverley last time out.

LAW DEGREE is in good form and weighted to go close again. Mayor of Maghera, who has built a solid platform for nurseries in maidens, is next best..

Phillip Makin's MAYOR OF MAGHERA has improved with each start and can build on his clear second here now handicapping up in trip.

14:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MR JETMAN boasts the most convincing profile based on recent form figurers and, with the promise of more to come on just his second start over this trip, there are solid foundations for the gelding to build on after a near miss over C&D 10 days ago. Poet's Dawn also has some respectable C&D efforts to his name and is noted, while Bearwith is weighted to go well if staging a revival.

Grant Tuer's MR JETMAN is less exposed than these and signalled he is ready to strike again when a C&D runner-up last time so gets the vote. C&D scorer Poet's Dawn is next on the list with handily-weighted Bearwith another to consider.

The lightly raced 4yo MR JETMAN has been in fine form this month following a long absence and can gain a deserved win.

(1) Henery Hawk 28/1, 7/2, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 31 days ago, slowly away. That was a step back in the right direction and a 2 lb ease means that he drops in grade back on turf.
Got back on track when sixth there 31 days ago; one to consider off a falling mark.

Landed classified event at Redcar (5f) 17 days ago; this C&D winner can't be discounted.

14:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Jamie's Choice beat Northern Prince to win a classified event at Redcar earlier in the month, but faces tougher opposition back in handicap company and INANNA is preferred. The Acclamation filly finished a creditable third at Ayr on her first outing for Jim Goldie's yard and looks capable of ending a long losing run off her current mark on that evidence. Showboated found only one too good when last seen over course and distance in July and is also noted.

Having excelled himself in a C&D maiden, SHOWBOATED can be forgiven a subsequent defeat in handicap company having been badly bumped and can prove his basement mark to be a lenient one this time. Jamie's Choice and Northern Prince occupied the first 2 spots at Redcar last time and both should be involved again.

Jim Goldie's new recruit INANNA (nap) shaped well when third at Ayr and is taken to build on it and capitalise on a reduced mark.

14:55 Ripon Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

RESERVARDO, whose 6,000 euros price tag as a yearling shot up to 270,000 euros as a two-year-old breeze-up buy, impressed when just touched off in a maiden at Windsor 24 days ago. Runner-up on both previous starts, Zayer is the most obvious threat to the selection, although Kullazain and Another Abbot are interesting newcomers to bear in mind if either attract market support.

The Crisfords' RESERVARDO was unable to land the odds on his recent Windsor debut but still shaped well when runner-up and can take a sizeable step forward to go one better at the chief expense of Archie Watson's Zayer, who might have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Newcomer Another Abbot can't be ruled out either, especially if the market vibes are positive for William Haggas' Harry Angel colt.

An interesting race but ZAYER could be hard to beat with his latest Haydock form franked in a big way last week at York.

15:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

After winning more comfortably than the length and a half distance may suggest over C&D last time, MRS BAGERRAN is fancied to follow up despite the lengthy layoff. Tracy Waggott's charge barely saw another rival on that occasion, and a 5lb rise doesn't appear to be out of her reach. Sixcor is fancied to pose the most significant challenge to the selection after bouncing back to form when scoring over 6f at Ayr earlier this month, while Sound Of Iona isn't easily discounted.

DUNNINGTON LAD displayed a really willing attitude when doubling his tally for the season at Ripon a fortnight ago and with this an easier band of handicap, his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Sixcor and Sound of Iona head the opposition.

Last year's winner Sixcor can go well but DUNNINGTON LAD showed a good attitude when scoring at Ripon last time and can follow up.

15:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TEES AGGREGATES was successful on his nursery debut at Leicester 27 days ago and is competitively weighted in his bid to follow up off just 4lb higher. Fellow previous winner John's Dragon can also continue to pay her way in handicaps and is suggested as the chief threat to the selection with first-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Nursery debutants Foro Romano and Brandywine Falls also enter calculations.

INVINCIBLE ANNICE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Musselburgh last time and can capitalise on a 1 lb lower mark here. Recent Leicester scorer Tees Aggregates heads the list of dangers with in-form pair John's Dragon and Invincible Song also in the picture.

Ivan Furtado is in excellent form and FOCUS ON ZAAM gets the nod on his nursery debut. Invincible Annice is second choice.

15:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Believe Me Now arrives here on the back of a narrow success over 1m at Ayr earlier this month and she is fancied to be involved once more, but the reopposing REBECCA'S GIRL (second) can reverse that form. Gary Rutherford's filly has since shed her maiden tag, justifying strong market support over 7f at Carlisle, and a 5lb penalty may not halt her progression. Braes Of Doune has seldom run a bad race this term and is also worthy of consideration.

BRAES OF DOUNE doubled his career tally at Ayr a fortnight ago and with the return to 1m expected to suit, he can go in again. There shouldn't be much between Believe Me Now and Rebecca's Girl again and they can make their presence felt.

A few with chances but the vote goes to BRAES OF DOUNE who did well to score at Ayr last time out and can defy a 3lb weights rise here.

15:55 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

After falling when favourite at Newton Abbot in June, HUELGOAT makes most appeal. Rated 116, Paul Nicholls' charge is clear of these on official ratings and he should be difficult to beat with a more polished round of jumping. Yellow Car is feared most after getting off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules at the same venue and he can continue his progression, while Ballydesmond heads the remainder.

The penalised winners YELLOW CAR and Huelgoat look to have this between them, and boasting more potential it's Yellow Car who has to get the vote to make it 2-2 in this sphere.

After a very pleasing rules debut at Newton Abbot last month, YELLOW CAR is selected ahead of Huelgoat.

16:00 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 6f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

TWELFTH KNIGHT won this contest off a 6lb higher mark last term and hinted at a return to form when third over C&D last time. Paul Midgley's sprinter can edge this ahead of Another Baar, who scored at Doncaster before finishing second in a competitive handicap here. The veteran Muscika went agonisingly close at Epsom on his latest start and merits consideration, while Origintrail and Act Of Violence are others worthy of second glance.

Plenty are in with a shout. TWELFTH KNIGHT captured this prize 12 months ago and could be the way to go on the back of his good recent C&D third off a reduced mark. David O'Meara's Muscika arrives in excellent nick though and rates a big danger, while the likes of Another Barr, Rayat and Origintrail also command lots of respect.

Last year's runner-up Origintrail is respected but ANOTHER BAAR (nap) arrives in rude health and can post his third C&D win.

16:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

MR STRUTTER caught the eye late when running on to take second over 1m1f at this venue last time and he is capable of going one better. The 10-year-old arrives here on the same mark and that can be exploited. Little Ted won off just 1lb lower over 1m1f here last month and isn't discounted, while Keep Me Stable is also noted.

It's very late in the day for 10-y-o MR STRUTTER to be fitted with cheekpieces but he figures on a very handy mark and, versatile with regards ground conditions, he gets the tentative vote. Keep Me Stable and Fanzone are others to consider.

The most reliable option is LITTLE TED who won here last month and holds his form remarkably well. Mr Strutter is next best.

16:15 Bellewstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

COUL DREAMER was a market springer ahead of his debut at Gowran Park and ran creditably in a staying-on third. On breeding, he should handle this slower ground. Lucky Melody contested decent maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh with a best finish of fourth at the former. It is not hard to see her involved in this contest. The 78-rated Miss Tapley regressed when unplaced on her third appearance in Gowran Park, but she has her chance on previous placed efforts at Galway and Gowran Park. My Little Lady showed significant improvement on her second start when chasing home the winner at Cork last month, while Genoah and Kelbelle cannot be ruled out.

COUL DREAMER made a promising start at Gowran and could be the way to go ahead of barrier trial winner Kelbelle, who shaped well at Naas, and My Little Lady, who wasn't beaten far in a useful contest at Cork.

If the forecast is right then COUL DREAMER will encounter slower conditions than at Gowran but that was a very likeable start.

16:22 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Emanate ran with credit when second over 2m4f at Worcester last month and he can give another good account, but a 3lb rise in the ratings may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals. Therefore, a chance is taken on NASTASIYA, who shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on well to take third over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen on her latest start over timber. Fenney Brook could also hit the frame.

FENNEY BROOK is below her last winning mark, stays this trip well and a brace of placed efforts in recent weeks confirm she's back in good order. She therefore rates the percentage play, for all Coilrock could easily get back on track following a break fitted with a tongue tie. Gone In Sixty is another to consider.

Preference is for NASTASIYA, who ended up with too much to do before staying on well for third on her stable debut in May.

16:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CODE PURPLE arrives in the best form having won two of his last three outings. He remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for winning at Musselburgh on his latest start and looks worth sticking with. Makalu may well have finished closer than fourth here last time with clear run and rates a threat, while Lokana remains relatively unexposed and could go well off her current mark.

SUNNY ORANGE has slipped to a lenient mark and could be ready to take advantage on the back of his encouraging Beverley third last time out. Musselburgh scorer Code Purple rates the obvious danger with in-form duo Lokana and Mount King likely to be on the premises too.

Preference is for MAKALU, who has won four times this year so certainly knows how to get the job done.

16:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

TRIGGERMAN arrives on the back of a solid third in a slightly higher grade than this over 7f at Haydock earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, the son of Ribchester looks the one to side with. Queens Road Revue scored over an extended 7f at Beverley recently and she merits a second look, despite a 4lb rise, while Inspiring Speeches is also considered stepping back down to 7f with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

WAR MEMORIAL failed to justify market support over 1m at Ripon 3 weeks ago but this track/trip should be more suitable so he's taken to get it right this time. Queens Road Revue is a solid proposition at this level and is second choice, ahead of Triggerman eased in grade.

It could be worth siding with maiden WAR MEMORIAL, who looked on the up until fluffing his lines at Redcar last time out.

16:45 Bellewstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Rory Mulligan's 7lb claim came to the fore on PASCALIA who showed up well in a dead-heat for fourth in a massive field at the Curragh. The horse that got up to share fourth with her came out and won a handicap at Killarney last Friday. The Bog Bank absolutely loves Bellewstown and has to be feared with Alyse Jane Clarke taking 10lb off her back. The pair combined to win over C&D in July. Selective Power cruised home at Naas which didn't go unnoticed by the handicapper who has hit him with a stone. If he is in the same mood, though, he would be hard to contain. Roman Harry and Comfort Line are others with chances.

VIVA VOCE has done better with his sights lowered of late and could be set to get off the mark on these shores. The Bog Bank goes well here and looks ready for another big run. Pascalia and Roman Harry are also on the shortlist.

A standing dish here, THE BOG BANK (nap) has twice run well on the AW since winning over C&D and is well drawn so can score again.

16:55 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

GLYNN was an impressive winner over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last Thursday and a repeat of that effort could see him take this slight step up in class in his stride. That was a fine performance and he shaped as if a 7lb penalty can be within reach. Ajp Kingdom is feared most, while An Tailliur has been off the track for 500 days but he is a useful operator worthy of respect.

GLYNN is clearly getting the hang of chasing now and can follow up Thursday's Newton Abbot win. The returning useful hurdler An Tailliur is an intriguing runner and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Ajp Kingdom and Jet of Magic haven't convinced over fences but may get away with mistakes in this small field if it becomes messy.

As all his rivals come with an element of risk, the chances are that last week's Newton Abbot winner GLYNN will defy a penalty.

17:00 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Last year's winner Spantik was eased down at Beverley on his belated seasonal debut behind the runner-up Bamboo Bay. The latter is one to consider, along with Catterick winner Myboymax, but the vote goes to TAILORMAN. Ian Williams' four-year-old came up against the progressive Godsend when second at Pontefract latest and can go one better returning to this lower grade. The lightly-raced Greenlightforgo steps up in distance and there might be more to come from him.

GREENLIGHTFORGO won't need to improve much for the step up to 2m to come out on top here. It's interesting that Danny Tudhope is back on board last year's winner Spantik and he can leave his recent reappearance well behind and provide the chief threat ahead of Tailorman.

The in-form MYBOYMAX returned to winning ways at Catterick three weeks ago and is taken to follow up. Tailorman is a danger.

17:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In what looks a trappy opening contest, LONGUERUE gets the tentative vote. Robert Eddery's charge put on a stamina-laden performance when scoring over 1m6f at Yarmouth earlier this month and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor her back up to 2m. Dangers are aplenty, though, and are headed by last-time-out winner Scylla, though a 4lb rise for that performance demands more. Smart over obstacles, Teqany is a fascinating contender reverting to the level.

SCYLLA found improvement when comfortably drawing clear here a month ago and, with a talented amateur on board, she's fancied to go in again. Solid Silver is an obvious threat and Fictonal could take a hand under Simon Walker.

The unexposed SCYLLA is taken to build on her clearcut success on turf here last month.

17:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Freddy Robinson found only one rival too good over C&D earlier this month and is sure to be popular off an unchanged mark. That said, KINETIC scored with plenty in hand over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her in this company. Glasses Up bounced back to form when scoring over 1m2f at Ayr recently and completes the shortlist off 3lb higher.

Plenty in with a shout for a 0-60, with the well-treated KINETIC fancied to land a quickfire hat-trick. Spring Chorus and Tilsitt are chief among the dangers.

It's hard to go against the upwardly mobile KINETIC who has thrived under the expert tutelage of James Owen and can complete a hat-trick

17:15 Bellewstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Second-reserve Arch Enemy would be threatening if getting a run as she stayed on for second in a much higher grade at Leopardstown last Thursday. Jamie Powell has a good record aboard prominent-racer SMAOINEAMH SILE as he has steered her to her last couple of victories. The pair couldn't quite hold on over further in Leopardstown, but that runner-up berth was still a decent effort. Blue Wood is capable off his mark and first-time cheekpieces might eke out a bit more from him, while Cousin Shay is unexposed on turf having been extensively campaigned on the Polytrack at Dundalk. Pimstrel made a promising start to life with George Kingston when second behind an easy winner in Naas.

SMAOINEAMH SILE was just about better than ever when second at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and eased 1 lb, a very bold bid looks on the cards. Blue Wood also arrives in good order, while Cherry Pink is a potential improver having not been with his yard long.

Winner of a division of this race last year, SMAOINEAMH SILE has been in mostly good form this year and can score again.

Ran well to a point on hurdling debut but two heavy defeats followed; blinkers refitted.

17:25 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CALSHOT SPIT lost little in defeat when finishing fourth in a warm novice event over C&D in July and, on the back of a comfortable victory on the Flat earlier this month, he gets the vote to make his handicap hurdling debut a winning one. Malina Ocarina scored in cheekpieces (retained) over an extended 2m2f here last month and a 4lb rise for that performance doesn't discount her, while better can be expected from Greenways on his handicap bow.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken that Dan Skelton has worked his magic on GOT GREY. Calshot Spit won the Flat earlier this month and should be up to making an impact on handicap hurdle debut for Sheena West. Like the selection, Go On Ya Goodthing has also been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also makes the shortlist along with last month's course scorer Malina Ocarina.

There could still be more to come from SHUIL DONN, who was a ready winner on his stable/handicap debut in September.

17:38 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Creative Lady was sent off a warm order when finishing runner-up over 7f at Epsom on just her second start earlier this month, and she should be on the premises once more with a reproduction of that effort. That said, she might have to play second fiddle to the more experienced LILLY'S BET. William Knight's charge shaped with more credit than the bare result suggests when finishing a staying-on fifth in a Kempton handicap over 6f latest and, stepping back up to 7f with a hood reapplied, she gets the vote. Lockwood is also noted.

DRAGONFLY IN AMBER showed promise when fifth despite some greenness at Windsor on debut and, with average improvement from first to second run, she could have enough to land this relatively weak maiden. Creative Lady and Lilly's Bet are likely to be on the premises and Hock Eye The Noo is an interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to CREATIVE LADY who looks the one to beat having finished runner-up in both starts on turf.

17:45 Bellewstown Handicap 8f  Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A tricky race. Willie McCreery runs two horses with Billy Lee on BELLA COLOMBIA. This filly has competed at higher levels and it may have been the heavy ground that caught her out when fourth in this grade at Roscommon. Nans View caught the eye with a runner-up finish posted on handicap debut at Galway. She made sustained headway in the straight and could build upon that. Nakasero delivered in Killarney and wasn't beaten far into third in a valuable Racing League contest in Wolverhampton at the start of the month, while Vierson tries a new trip on her first venture into handicaps and could outrun her odds.

NANS VIEW has few miles on the clock and took a step forward when runner-up at Galway last time, so she's fancied to produce another improved performance to go one better. Nakasero is an obvious threat and Bella Colombia can get involved with the visor refitted.

Again the draw could have been kinder, but NANS VIEW ran a big race on her handicap debut at Galway given the wide trip she endured.

17:55 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

JO'S RAINBOW belied lengthy odds to finish third in a novice event over C&D last month and it would be no surprise if she were able to land the spoils now making her handicap debut. The last time Ocean Heights raced over hurdles he finished third off this mark over 2m at Ffos Las in May and he should be thereabouts with a repeat of that effort. Mary's rating continues to fall and she merits a second look in a bid to arrest the slide.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and JO'S RAINBOW, a fair winner on the Flat, is fancied to take a step forward now stepping into handicaps and gain a first success in this sphere. Mary took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Worcester and could emerge as the main danger off a falling mark, although the lightly-raced Harry Gulliver is another who needs considering along with the returning Call Blue.

The suggestion is OCEAN HEIGHTS who should be capable of winning races off this mark given his Flat ability.

18:08 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f  (See Speed Six0 Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

TIME TESTED readily pulled clear with the runner-up when scoring over 7f at Yarmouth on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in good form when finishing second over 1m2f at Brighton earlier this month, he gets the nod to make his handicap debut a winning one. Recent C&D winner Snooker McCrew may emerge as the main danger to the selection under a 6lb penalty, while Forever Noah also warrants respect.

COME ON YOU SPURS was too free at Newmarket last time but she'd been firmly on the up prior to that and she's worth a chance to resume progress. Time Tested has more to come and Forever Noah is unlikely to have reached his limit.

There should be more to come from TIME TESTED on his handicap debut, while \bForever Noah\b has run well in both starts since returning.

18:15 Bellewstown Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

FIONA MACCOUL was beaten six and a half lengths on debut recently but met in-running trouble. Speedily-bred, she was slowly away at the Curragh and having met traffic, finished well to finish a never nearer fifth behind the easy winner. She should benefit from that run, dropping a furlong in distance and again has a light weight. Keen-going Bobbi Rosa finished second at Cork recently, with the smart winner finishing second at Listed level at York this week. Gazelle D'or is thoroughly dependable and reverts to maiden company having run well enough in the Ballyhane Stakes. Rated 74, she again carries a light weight and has a big advantage from the plum draw here in stall one.

FIONA MACCOUL caught the eye with her finishing effort at the Curragh recently and she can probably improve enough to get the better of Bobbi Rosa, who took a marked step forward at Cork last time out. Gazelle D'Or is the other obvious player.

Jessica Harrington's FIONA MACCOUL was quite an eyecatcher at the Curragh and hopefully she can deal with this sharper test.

18:25 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Rotten Row impressed when bolting up over 2m5f here on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in good heart when fourth over the same trip at Cartmel most recently, he must enter calculations. That said, GREY SKIES showed up well for a long way before fading late on when second over 2m5f at Cartmel on his penultimate start. Easing in trip on his first outing since undergoing wind surgery, this might be the day to catch him off what looks a workable mark. El Borracho is also noteworthy.

ROTTEN ROW still looked in top form at Cartmel last time and, returning to the scene of his latest success, he's fancied to get the better of Grey Skies, who should be back on his game after a two-month break. Al Zaraqaan is also a player for all that he needs to get back on track.

Front-runner ONEMOREFORTHEROAD (nap) had too much use made of him on his last two outings but is well handicapped now and gets the nod.

18:38 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ULTRAMARINE hinted at a revival with a couple of third-placed finishes over 6f earlier this month and may be able to swing this one his way with an additional furlong sure to suit. Already a three-time winner over this trip, the selection notably competes off 9lb below his last winning mark. Lady Dreamer rates a solid alternative with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking, while Scarboroughwarning is interesting upped in trip.

ULTRAMARINE shaped well again at Windsor last week and given he's done all his winning on AW he could be worth chancing. That said, The Bitter Moose is 2-2 on AW and has dipped to a tempting mark so is very interesting. Scarboroughwarning might have more to offer over this longer trip and completes the shortlist.

It may be worth taking a chance with TADREEB who has dropped 17lb lower than for the latest of two C&D wins at the start of 2022.

18:45 Bellewstown Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

RATHBRANCHURCH is a busy sprinter who is badly drawn in 14 but won over today's course-and-distance in July, narrowly defeating two of today's rivals. The selection was well held on recent runs but has an excellent course record, his rating has recently slipped and is now 1lb better off, each respectively, with July's placed-horses Air Force One and Only Spoofing. Air Force One also has a wide draw in 12 but is open to more progression being a lightly enough raced three-year-old. Hero Of The Hour has a good draw in 3 and while raised 4lb for winning at Naas recently, his same rider is able to claim 3lb today, so has hat-trick prospects.

AIR FORCE ONE looked an unlucky loser here last time and can gain compensation now. Hero of The Hour is an improved performer since returning to turf and rates an obvious danger. Transcendental and the selection's stablemate Heart of Darkness complete the shortlist.

Heart Of Darkness is interesting but Billy Lee seemingly prefers the chance of stablemate AIR FORCE ONE who is progressing.

18:55 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 28f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

GREAT D'ANGE had the race sewn up a long way from home when winning over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last week and appeals strongly turned out under a 7lb penalty. This slightly longer trip can play to the strengths of Invictus Allen, who also impressed landing a novices' handicap at Uttoxeter last month and he can give the selection the most to think about. Sammylou and the first-time visored Honey I'm Good complete the shortlist.

In a race where most have plenty to prove INVICTUS ALLEN is taken to follow up last month's Uttoxeter success and provide the Christian Williams stable with a hat-trick of wins in this staying handicap chase. Great d'Ange's recent record raises doubts about him backing up last week's Newton Abbot success but he's still the obvious danger.

With most of these badly out of form, this could be a good opportunity for GREAT D'ANGE to complete a quick double.

19:08 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

On the back of a C&D win and respectable second-placed finish on the turf course here 22 days ago, BIG BARD is holding his form well and is worth another chance back on the all-weather. Add to that Joe Bradnam's 7lb claim is a very handy asset and a bold showing can be expected. Sir Rodneyredblood also rates a key player at this level, while Porfin tends to go well here and is not one to dismiss.

BIG BARD is back in good form and could be the answer. Sir Rodneyredblood is a player under Oisin Murphy, while a market move for the returning Repartee for a new yard might be interesting.

There is a chance that SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD (nap) will enjoy an uncontested lead and he could take some catching.

19:15 Bellewstown Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MARKET TIMING should benefit from last month's promising debut here. Bred for middle-to-long distances, she was outpaced four furlongs out but finished nicely, with the winner subsequently finishing fourth at Group 3 level and the runner-up scoring at Galway. Regally bred Rubies Are Red notably narrowly failed to catch subsequent Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me in a Lingfield Listed race in May but has disappointed in three top races since. Rated 97, she was nonetheless well held in the English Oaks and Ribblesdale and weakened very tamely having led in the Irish Oaks, and now runs in first-time blinkers. Sissi finished second to a subsequently Group-placed winner at Killarney, where the third horse won subsequently, and should compete.

RUBIES ARE RED has far less on her plate here so Aidan O'Brien's filly is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of the improving Realt Na Ri. Market Timing and Ob La Di appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Rated 97, RUBIES ARE RED should be winning this but she will need to be close to her best.

19:25 Stratford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

RONNIES RULES has already comfortably won two similar races over this C&D and is hard to oppose in a bid to round out the hat-trick. Fiskardo is another must for consideration after his close third on debut in a bumper at Uttoxeter last month. Of the newcomers, Presenting Milan has a solid pedigree and on that basis, is nominated as the pick of the rest.

RONNIES RULES is two from two in bumpers over C&D and it's hard to see him losing his unbeaten record under Rules here, despite the double penalty. Fiskardo looks the main threat and Remus is an interesting newcomer.

Something was a amiss on his second start but RETETI might be too good for Ronnies Rules if able to replicate his debut form.

19:38 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DIAMOND DREAMER had something in hand when he asserted over runner-up Chiedozie on the turf course here 22 days ago and is strongly fancied to conform the form, despite a 5lb higher mark. The Defiant and So Sleepy are other previous course winners to consider, with the former rated the more potent threat to the selection on this occasion given he runs off 2lb below his last winning mark.

DIAMOND DREAMER won well over this trip on turf here 3 weeks ago and can defy a 5 lb rise back on AW. Chiedozie chased him home on that occasion and may give him most to do again.

The vote goes to THE DEFIANT who has three C&D wins to his name and is 2lb below his last winning mark.

19:45 Bellewstown Handicap 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Frankel gelding BALTIC BIRD is forgiven his recent Galway hurdling disappointment as he had previously run very well in a prestigious race at that festival five days earlier. He finished fourth to one Extensio at Fairyhouse in July and being a strong stayer, is well suited by this distance. Royal Eagle finished third over hurdles at the Galway festival and again ran well on the flat at Tramore recently. She also stays well and today's different rider again claims 7lb but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper. Reina Del Mar could be suited by trying this extreme flat distance for the first time and today's rider claims 5lb.

Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand and his ROYAL EAGLE gets the vote on the back of a good Tramore third. In-form stablemate Barrier could emerge as the main threat with handily-weighted duo Peckham Springs and Walking On Glass also worthy of respect.

Though disappointing over hurdles at Galway after a cracking runner-up effort in a valuable 2m handicap there, BALTIC BIRD can rebound.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
